I agree, in addition, the new back office Datacenter standalone db blew every one out of the tcp-c non-clustered tests.

It could be some employee sales. Remember when the stock options were repriced?? to about 65? If memory serves, there are about 75MM of those out there.

Level II quotation showed different sellers sitting on the ask price filling any bids hitting various prices. The afternoon barrier up until the close was at $66.10 Any time the bid approached that level the shares were unloaded. THe primary ECN involved was WCHV.

Take a look at the options max pain data. That may explain some of the move. A whole bunch of options players will get burnt at the current prices. Most of the big caps are way over max pain point.knc

edit I see a couple of others already pointed this out after I read yours.

How many times does msft go to between 68-74 and get sold off? I bought puts on the open.

Enough is enough. Msft was going up on crappy volume.

Msft down on more volume than it's been rising on. People decided to sell. Maybe they come in and buy tomorrow.

I'll sell my puts around the low 60 area. (Maybe 62).

Who wants to buy when it's gone up and up and up and up and up? Some people sell in that case. Course, there are people who think that it will just keep going because of amat, ibm, dell, hwp, xp, xbox, etc.

Nothing goes straight up. Not even msft.
